Therapists in Granada Hills, CA

Life is filled with challenges and uncertainty, which often makes it difficult to move forward. Both children and adults’ experiences of the unknown can result in them feeling anxious, worried, and/or frustrated. I have focused my professional work in helping people gradually face their fears and problematic behaviors while integrating coping strategies along the way. I strive to help each client recognize their resilience and ability to grow.

My ideal client is willing to do their emotional work. He does not want to waste his time or money. She is looking to discover her roadblocks and is willing to reach beyond her comfort zone to feel better. He wants to increase his emotional intelligence and hold onto his manhood at the same time. She wants to find find her voice and her power without giving up her femininity. They want want to understand each other while under stress. They want to be as nearly on the same parenting page as possible. They want good sex, good talks, well adjusted children, and a fulfilling life.

I am looking forward to providing a safe and judgement-free environment in which you can explore treatment for Relationship Issues, Anxiety, Depression, Blended/Step Family Issues, Eating Disorders, Impulse-Control, Substance-Related Disorders and Gender Dysphoria. I have been licensed for 34 years and bring my experience as a nurse, educator and therapist to combine a practical approach in my work. I specialize in the treatment of Childhood and Adolescent Disorders as well as Anxiety and Depression Disorders with Adults and Families.

If only you could just tell your kids what to do and watch them feel better! It seldom works out that way, though. To help a child, you have to "speak the language of youth" and find ways to help that aren't lectures or punishments. My office is half consulting room and half art studio. Your child is invited to express their emotions in whatever way suits them--colors, brushes, toys and, yes, a couch. I help kids and teens find their own answers and begin growing into the people they were meant to be.

Are you struggling to cope with trauma, anxiety, or depression? It's okay not to feel okay. I'm here to help you navigate these challenges and find your path to healing.

I help kids, grownups, and everyone in between find their own True Voice, so they can live the lives they deserve. Maybe your child is misbehaving at school, or your teenager is sullen and distanced, or you're in love and know you'd like to stay with this person, if you could only change a few things that really scare you. Or maybe there's an aggressive part of you that your parents didn't know how to handle, or a hurt and vulnerable side that you've always felt too ashamed to feel.

Are you concerned about your child's wellbeing? I specialize in working with children and I am passionate about my work with adolescents and young adults. Growing up is difficult enough; dealing with the intense pressure of school, family, friends and intimate relationships is often overwhelming. It is equally difficult establishing one's self and who you will be the remainder of your life. Homework, test anxiety, divorce, bullying and or peer pressure frequently overwhelm children and teens while major transitions --college, relationships and career-- leave us feeling inadequate.

Hello. My name is Kent and I help kids, teens and their families live happier lives. I am an expert at bridging the communication gap between parents and kids. Is your teen angry or sullen? Slamming his fist through the wall? Screaming her lungs out at you because you are so unfair? How about your little kid? Is he having problems making friends? Perhaps your little girl can't concentrate in school. Maybe there is a tragedy in the family, such as a death, divorce or sudden illness. If so, I'd like to help.

You have started the search for support and are now faced with choosing a therapist to begin the healing process.

In the best of cases our past can inform why we react to events in our lives in the present. The conclusions on which we based these reactions were adaptive at the time we incorporated them because the were SURVIVAL based. Today, these conclusions about ourselves, the world, and our place in may not be as adaptive as we may need. We have the power to rewire how we see and react to the world. Never has there been a time in our history as a species where this has been more important. Yesterday can inform us to the extent that we do not continue to make the same mistakes over and over expecting different results. Today, is a new day!

Ever react to a situation or a person in a way that feels out of your control, perhaps deeply unconscious? Are you someone who wants to relate to others in a more authentic manner? Have you ever had a dream that just gnaws at you, one you don’t know how to interpret properly? Psychoanalysis may be the right fit for you.

"Let's finally stop just talking about your problems, and begin doing something about them." I've found that at the core of most of our troubles is deeper conflict between our Values and Actions. This inconsistency may have been caused by past experiences, traumatic events or a genetic predisposition. Regardless of the source of the problem, let's take a more active approach to feeling happier and healthier. Whether you are seeking help in your career, looking to improve your relationship, having problems with the kids or struggling with anxiety, let's get started. The time is now!
